Figure App.C.4.18a.. Annual number of unique research projects (green) and active research permits (red) in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) database for research permits in Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS) from 2010 to 2016. One permit could contain multiple projects.Data source: B. Owens/CDFW; Figure: NOAA
Figure App.C.4.18b.. Number of projects with active CDFW research permits in CINMS by habitat type. Active permits only include those that are currently in use; non-student permits are issued for three years and student permits are issued for only one year. Student permits issued before June 6, 2015 were not included in this summary. Data source: B. Owens/ CDFW; Figure: NOAA
